Individual Tuition, Counselling, Psychotherapy and Spiritual Guidance
Individual
sessions are offered to assist you in a variety of ways and situations. These
may include general personal development, career change, stress, anxiety,
fear, spiritual or psychic phenomena, relationship problems, vocation, decisions
etc.
Sessions may be requested as solely counselling, psychotherapy, yoga or spiritual
guidance. Alternatively, it may be left open to include any or all of these
as appropriate. Both verbal and practical methods are used, eg. drawing, imaginative
exercises, study of dreams, breathing exercises, sound therapy…
Individual Yoga Tuition includes the physical, mental and spiritual aspects of Yoga to improve health & peace of mind. It is normally offered to people who have special needs in Yoga practice.
Spiritual
Guidance is concerned with existential problems, life-purpose, ethics, personal
growth and psychic or transcendental experiences.
Counselling and psychotherapy contribute to your understanding of yourself
and enable deep-seated blocks to be released. The process goes deeper than
intellectual understanding, which on its own changes nothing and may increase
the frustration associated with a problem.
Counselling is listening with full attention to your needs, in an atmosphere of trust that encourages you to express yourself. Despite its name, counselling does not normally include advice or counsel except in an agency dedicated to problems requiring specialised knowledge, eg. legal or medical. A counsellor will help you to clarify your feelings and motivations by sharing them. Results are likely to be experienced after 5 – 10 sessions.
Psychotherapy is the interaction between you and your therapist, with your wellbeing and
growth at the centre of this professional relationship. A psychotherapist
is trained to guide the content of the session sensitively towards your key
personal issues.
In my experience it can take months or years to reach the deepest issues,
though many other important gains are found along the way.
As you become more at peace with yourself, your relationships with other people
become more harmonious. Because of this your counselling or psychotherapy
will not only benefit you; those around you will also benefit. Hence counselling
and psychotherapy sessions are not a selfish pursuit, as some may imagine.
Those who criticise have not recognised the courage that is shown by people
who are prepared to face and overcome their problems.
My approach in counselling and psychotherapy is known as Transpersonal.
